L.A. Without a Map (Mika Kaurismäki, 1998)

David Tennant stars as an undertaker in Yorkshire who takes off for Los Angeles in pursuit of an American tourist he's smitten with. He is naturally a fish out of water there and much of the film's comedy mileage comes from him being either patronised or clocked or both by the horrid locals, punctuated by some odd random cameos from the likes of Johnny Depp. It's not without some moments of amusement, but the satire of the vacuous film world is not much less shallow than its target and the love interest of the sadsack main character so charmless that it's quite hard to see any point to it all.
